The evolution of pertactin expression in Belgian circulating B. pertussis strains, pre- and post-COVID-19 [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumPrior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bordetella pertussis strains not producing pertactin were globally increasing, especially in countries using the acellular pertussis vaccine. Subsequently, during the pandemic, global pertussis incidence dropped to extreme

Comparison of Bordetella species identification among differing rt-PCR assays in the United States
Microbiology SpectrumIn the United States, the general laboratory method for diagnosing pertussis, caused by Bordetella pertussis, is real-time PCR (rt-PCR) targeting insertion sequence 481 (IS481).

Emergence of Bordetella holmesii–Associated Pertussis-Like Illness, Northern India, 2019–2023 [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesWe investigated Bordetella holmesii and Bordetella pertussis in 935 suspected pertussis cases in northern India (2019–2023) using PCR and serology. B. holmesii showed increased prevalence in pertussis cases, particularly in older children, highlighting ...

Rarely Encountered Gram-Negative Rods and Lung Transplant Recipients: A Narrative Review
Microorganisms, 2023 The respiratory tract of lung transplant recipients (LTR) is likely to be colonized with non-fermentative Gram-negative rods. As a consequence of the improvements in molecular sequencing and taxonomy, an increasing number of bacterial species have been ...

Pathogenicity and virulence of Bordetella pertussis and its adaptation to its strictly human host
Virulence, 2021 The highly contagious whooping cough agent Bordetella pertussis has evolved as a human-restricted pathogen from a progenitor which also gave rise to Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 The Bordetella genus is divided into two groups: classical and non-classical. Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella parapertussis are known as classical bordetellae, a group of important human pathogens causing whooping cough or ...
